Track 04 - If God Will Send His Angels
lyrics
A mini apartment on the 12th floor of a residential complex that is beginning to show signs of decay. Early afternoon. A hot sun, too, comes from the windows, creating contrasts between light and shadow. Ahmir, dressed in an anonymous fashion, and Rita are sitting opposite each other. A table separating them.
"So you came."
"I did not have much choice, I think."
"Would you able to escape, as usual. "
" Escape ... just you accuse me of running away. "
Ahmir gets up, goes to the window, look outside.
The silence drags on, disturbed only by audio of a television blaring, coming from the apartment next door, and the noise of a helicopter flying over the area.
"I do not want to know where I was, what I did in these years?"
Ahmir turns to look at her, she does not return his gaze.
"I would like to know why you've waited until now to make you alive."
She did not answer. Continues to set the table. Listening carefully, we understand that the television is broadcasting a teleshopping. Ahmir
studying the environment, the plastic tablecloth on the table, discolored and full of cuts, the sofa half broken, the absence of any decorative object, except for a small crucifix on the wall.
"Why did not you come with me? Why are you satisfied with this ... "
Rita abruptly raises her eyes.
"I just do not understand, right?" She looks at him intently, then returns to set the table. "No, do not understand." A faint smile on his face is drawn. "But then this ... your naivete ... has always been your strong point."
she gets up, goes to the sink and filled a glass of water.
You hear the sound of a key turning in the door.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Samy, come. There is a person that you have to say goodbye. "
A boy on 13, 14 years into the room. He takes off the dusty mantle phUV and places it on the back of the chair she was sitting where the first Rita.
"This is ... Johnny," shudders Ahmir "... one of my old friend."
Samy shakes hands stiffened Ahmir / Johnny, then at Rita.
"Now you can go and do your homework."
"OK mom. Goodbye Johnny. "
Johnny looks at him go, without saying anything.
"Oh Rita ..." Johnny sits down.
Rita moves the mantle phUV and sits on the sofa too. Shaking hands with Johnny.
"Johnny, you do not know ..." Tears slide on his face.
